Three arrested following SWAT search of Westminster home

Three men were arrested Friday after the Baltimore County S.W.A.T. team executed a search on a Westminster residence. Police believe they were selling heroin and cocaine.

Kevin J. Wallace, 29, of Brooklyn, Maryland; David M. McCullers, 20, of Baltimore; and Isaiah M. Hagans, 21, of Baltimore, were each charged with one count each of manufacturing narcotics and possession of paraphernalia, and two counts each of possession of a controlled dangerous substance and possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute. Each man was released on $5,000 unsecured bond the same day, according to electronic court records.

According to the statement of probable cause, a detective of the Westminster Police Department applied for a search warrant of a residence in the 100 block of S. Center St. in Westminster as part of an ongoing investigation.

On Friday, the Baltimore County S.W.A.T. team executed the warrant.

Inside the residence, when police observed Wallace in a room on the second floor, he allegedly jumped out window, but was then apprehended. While being secured, he attempted to flee again, but was re-apprehended, according to the statement. Hagans and McCullers were also apprehended.

McCullers was allegedly in possession of approximately 2.5 grams of suspected cocaine, a bag containing marijuana and a large amount of cash. Hagans and Wallace also possessed cash.

Search of the residence turned up $100 in counterfeit currency as well as approximately 1 gram of suspected heroin, 1.9 grams of suspected cocaine, 0.3 grams of suspected cocaine, sandwich bags with corners cut off and a plate that field-tested positive for baked-on cocaine residue, believed by police to have been used for manufacturing of crack cocaine, according to the statement.

Because no paraphernalia was located for heroin or cocaine use, and because of the large amounts of currency in possession by the men, investigators believe the individuals to be involved in selling heroin and cocaine from the location, according to the statement.

No contact information was available for any of the three men. Wallace and Hagans are both scheduled for preliminary hearings March 28. No scheduling information was available for McCullins as of 5 p.m. Monday.
